The outdoor furniture sector in Poland and greater Europe is expanding rapidly, driven by increased consumer interest in enhancing gardens, terraces, and balconies. This trend accelerated during the pandemic, with people rediscovering the value of outdoor spaces. As a result, furniture manufacturers are responding by offering aesthetically pleasing, functional, and durable designs.

However, the sector faces significant challenges. As Dominika Battig of Bello Giardino notes in Biznes Meble, the competition is fierce, and customer expectations have risen, with a growing demand for practical, sustainable furniture. Manufacturers are under pressure to use materials that withstand varying weather conditions while ensuring eco-friendly production processes. This involves investing in recycling technologies and renewable materials, raising production costs.
Global supply chain issues, such as raw material shortages and rising transport costs, also affect the industry. To address these, companies are considering local production, although this increases costs. Despite these challenges, the outdoor furniture market has strong growth potential, with manufacturers needing to balance innovation, sustainability, and cost to remain competitive.
The key to success will lie in combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technologies to meet the evolving demands of consumers.
